re: Our defense since the Ole Miss game...

We have the best defense in the conference per multiple statistical measures right now. In the SP+ we’re second in the conference only to UGA, but I would say our defense is actually playing better than theirs is right now and that Ole Miss game is what’s bringing us down. Probably would be a different result if we played them again but that’s now how it works so whatever

I don’t know exactly what to blame the improvement on, but I suspected earlier in the year we’d take some lumps and time/reps would be the medicine. LSU won it all last season with a defense that wasn’t elite by any stretch, but they did just enough to keep other teams from keeping up with that offense. That’s all I think we need essentially
